Recent reports of an increase in crime in St. Louis bring back memories of a time, not so long ago, when crime rates were at an all-time high. Historical perspective may be cold comfort to today's crime victims, but it helps to know that crime rates do not always rise; they also fall, sometimes dramatically.

<p>The U.S. Supreme Court broadened the legal protection of workers who face retaliation for complaining about discrimination at work. The court ruled that workers who complained about race and age discrimination were protected from reprisals, just as are those who complain about sex discrimination have been protected since a 2005 decision.

What do you think?
</p>
<p>
- Is retaliation for complaining about discrimination the same as discrimination?
</p>
<p>
- Should the Supreme Court say that retaliation is covered by the law if the text of the statute doesn't say so explicitly?
</p>
<p>
- What about the male coach of the girls' softball team who suffered reprisals after complaining the girls didn't get the same resources as the boys' baseball team?&nbsp;

The Supreme Court&rsquo;s recent ruling rejecting the argument that lethal
injection is inhumane allowed some states to resume executions, but it
only addresses a small sliver of the controversy. Justice Stevens went
on record stating that the practice of capital punishment might very
well be unconstitutional.Fri, 18 Apr 2008 04:00:00 +0000Kira Hudson Banks37035 at http://news.stlpublicradio.org
